Ah, behold the tragicomedy of life, as gray clouds gather like gossiping neighbors in the once radiant blue sky. It had been a day fit for frolicking in the sun until the weather deities decided to play a prank.

As the first drops of rain descended from the heavens, Kana's impeccable timing kicked in, realizing she was about to get a free shower whether she liked it or not.

Kana: "Oh, marvelous! Rain! And here I am without an umbrella..."

Lo and behold, as if the universe had taken personal offense to her lament, the heavens opened up with a vengeance, drenching her like a soggy sandwich at a picnic.

Kana: "WHA- oh, for the love of... Shelter! Must find shelter! Ah-ha! There!"

With the grace of a startled flamingo, she sprinted towards the nearest bus stop, barely avoiding a pratfall. Ignoring the human-shaped obstacle on the bench, she dove under the roof like a penguin seeking refuge from a tropical storm.

Kana: "GAH!!"

She wrung out her dress like a disgruntled laundry maid.

Kana: "Ah, soaked to the bone. Could this day possibly sink any lower?"

Sighing, she plopped down on the bench, contemplating the cosmic unfairness of it all, when a voice from the depths of her personal purgatory interrupted her thoughts.

Akane: "Kana-chan?"

Kana: "A-Akane?! Well, isn't this just peachy? It's like the universe conspired to heap misery upon my doorstep..."

Akane: "Oh, like I had any intention of sharing this charming moment with you! Hmph."

With a mutual grumpiness that could rival a pair of disgruntled porcupines, Akane and Kana scooted as far apart as the bench would allow, arms crossed and gazes firmly averted. Looks like they're in for a wet and awkward wait.
